Remember that one day when you could wake up without an alarm? When you would get your favorite bowl of cereal and sit between the hours of 8 and 12? This is a blog dedicated to the greatest time of our childhood: Saturday mornings. The television programs you watched, the memories attached to them, and maybe introducing you to something you didn't realize existed. Updated every weekend.

MARVEL VS. DC MONTH!

Marvel and DC by George Perez

There’s
been an eternal debate amongst comic fans: Marvel or DC. Which has the better
characters? Which has the better books? And, in the 21st century,
that argument has expanded to include which has the better movies?

This month,
we’re bringing you MARVEL VS. DC. The name is a bit misleading, though. This
month, we’re celebrating two milestones for those companies: the 80th
anniversary of Superman and the super hero genre, and the 10th
anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and, consequently, the record-breaking
box office of Avengers: Infinity War).
Not to mention the recently-passed 25th anniversaries of Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men: The Animated Series. (Interestingly
enough, last year was also the anniversary of the Marvel vs. DC comic event).

Each week
we’ll be presenting a pair-off between both company’s Saturday morning
offerings, two “bouts” per “round”. Some are ones we’ve posted before, some are
all-new, and all are accessible through the round posts. We’ll also be presenting
some extras as we celebrate all things comic this month. To think, a mere 20
years ago TV networks viewed comic-based properties as a gamble, now you’ve got
Hollywood scrambling for properties for the next big movie and show. How times
have changed!

And hey, be
sure to let us know what shows are your favorites, which shows aren’t, what
shows bring back great memories for you, or anything else you want to say! You
can follow us and chat with us on Facebook here and here, and on
Twitter @SatMForever. That’s also
where we post news items and other announcements. And feel free to send us requests
for what shows you’d like us to get to sooner than later.
